Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 2, 1908.

Application flied. December 14, 1907.. finial No. 406,684.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itjknown that I, ANTON PEARsoN, a citizen of the United States,residin at Palmer, in the county of Hampden and tate bodying myinvention,

of Massachusetts, have'invented a new and useful Improvement inWire-Drawing Machines, of which the followin is. a specification,referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of thesame, and representing. a wire-drawing machine em- 5 in which Figures '1and? respectivel are side and end views respectively of my invention,and Fig, 3 a top viewthereof. Part of Fig. 1 is shown in verticalsection.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts in the different .fignres.

; said pulley is a conica Attached to the frame My invention relates tocertain improvements in that class of wire drawing apparatus in whichthe wire is drawn through more than one die in a continuous operation,

and it 'consistsof the featureshereinafter described vand specificallypointed out in the annexed claims.

Referring to the drawing,

1 is the support ing frame for the driving shaft 2 which carries I aconical cooling pulle 3 and attached to the wire drawing drum 4. 1 isthe die box 5 containing the dies 6 and 7. The wire 8 is drawn 1 fromthe reel 9 through the die'6 around the pulley 3, then by the groove 10in the guide 11 through the ie 7 and around the drum 4. The ree 9 isplaced in an ellip tical vat 12 containing a cooling and lubricatingliquid, thesald reel resting on casting 13 therein ,the shaft Mextendingthrough the center of said reel and having at its upper end a ballbearing 15. The guide 11 'is attached to the vat 12 by means of thebolts 16 forming hinges. so that said guide may be laterally than vatscommonly in use and yet raised to place'the wire "in the groove 10,'andthereupon lowered into the liquidwhere it remalns while the machineis,in operation.

The vat 12 is made ellipiaical in shape'm order that it may not ta e upmore room have room enough for; theguide 11,

In the operation of the machine the wire being on the reel 9, the upperend of the wire is drawn through the die 6 and wound around the ulley 3one ormore times according to the eaviness of the wire; then the guide11 is raised and the wire placed in the groove 10 and then forcedthrough the 'die 7, after which it is fastened to the drum 4. The drum4; and the pulley 3 are shaped conically drum and operate as the drum,and

two reducing dies .OPQ struction, but this construction may be readilychangedsby adding other pulleys and corin the same proportion in orderthat the wire may work upward and become loose, The

operating mechanism is the same as that common used to operate ordinarywiredrawing locks and requires no de'scnptrons,

I do notlimit myself to such conres ending dies and grooves in. thecollar,

wit out changing the principle.

What I claim as my invent1on is y the same continuous 1. In a wiredrawing machine, the combination of a conicalwiredrawmg drum havingattached thereto at its base a conical cooling pulley, an elliptical vatiqpi a reel therein,

said vat by means of hinges so that the said guide-may be immersed insaid liquid, a die box placed between the said drum and pulley and thesaid thereinat different horizontal planes through which dies thewirepasses successively from the said reel to the said pulley and'fromvthesaid guide to the said drum, substantially as described adapted tocontain a a guide attached to reel and guide, dies placed 2." In a wiredrawing machine, the combi-' nation with a vert cal wire drawing drum of,pulleys attached thereto at'its base, a vat adapted to containa'liquid, a reel in said vat, a guide attached to-said vat, a die boxplaced between the said drumland ulley's and't'he said reel and guide,dies placeitherein at difiere'nt horizontal 'planes,' substan tiallyasshown, for the purpose s ecified.

In witness whereof I have signs this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.

ANTON PEARSON.
